Established in 2006, today Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community is a loving home and educational center for more than 125 vulnerable children ranging from toddlers through college age. Jhamtse Gatsal is located in the remote foothills of the Himalayas in the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh at the trijunction of India, Bhutan, and Tibet borders. Our name means the Garden of Love and Compassion in the local language. The children come from diverse backgrounds of trauma and adversity from nearby villages of Tawang district and primarily belong to the Monpa tribe, which has its roots in Tibet. Jhamtse Gatsal was featured in the Emmy award-winning documentary film Tashi and The Monk. Our Vision is that one day the world will live as one Jhamtse (loving and compassionate) community. Our Mission is to nurture the seeds of compassion to bloom within ourselves and people around the world.
